Submit your tool to InventList

A product directory and public changelog for indie makers. Each product gets a permanent page where you log ships (releases, fixes, milestones) that feed a stream, a maker profile and a weekly newsletter; listing is free once the InventList badge is on your site.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free with a badge on your site

Is InventList worth it?

Useful if you ship often and want a public changelog that keeps your product visible, less so as a one-off listing. The product link is ugc nofollow, so there is no SEO link value, and the free listing needs the badge on your site. Post regular ships to appear in the stream and newsletter. Paid slots are cheap ($30 to $75) but the stated audience is small.

Who should submit to InventList?

Suits indie makers of SaaS, developer tools, AI products and apps who build in public and like posting updates. It does not suit people after a dofollow backlink, products that will not be updated, or makers who cannot place a badge on the site; for app-store-only products the site describes a $15 alternative it is not charging for yet.

What you need before you submit

  • An account (GitHub, X or email link sign in)
  • A product URL, name, one-liner and description
  • The free InventList badge on your site before review
  • Optional DNS TXT record for the ownership check

How to submit to InventList

  1. Sign in at inventlist.com
  2. Add the InventList badge to your site
  3. Submit the product at /submit
  4. Log ships as you release features and fixes
  5. Optionally verify the domain with a DNS TXT record
